Additionally, many other police officers were contacted, but none of them opened their mouths regarding the incident.

Systemic Failure

This incident highlights serious concerns about police accountability and the protection of vulnerable communities. Furthermore, the apparent attempt to suppress the case raises questions about institutional integrity.
